Let the Countdown Begin

18 days.

18 days until I am officially completely done with student teaching and my undergraduate degree.

18 days left to do all the homework, lesson planning, and paperwork that goes along with finishing school and getting a teaching license.

18 days left of my normal American college student life.

18 days left to live with two of my best friends in the whole world.

18 days left until the first time that I fly all by myself (I mean, with the help of an airplane, of course).

18 days left of goodbyes and "see you later"s over coffee and dinner with great friends.

18 days left of being within two hours of my family and the majority of my friends.

18 days left of familiar.

18 days until unknown.

18 days until what I'm sure will be the most awesome, faith stretching, growing, and adventurous time of my life.

Oh... and 18 days to be overly dramatic about everything (I'm melodramatic... love it or leave it).

I have been overwhelmed by how loving and supportive everyone has been. I could not have asked for better friends and family. God has blessed me through you all in more ways than I can explain. THANK YOU!!!!

Prayer requests:
1. Pray against anxiety and fear, as I'm freaking out. This is honestly the most scary thing I think I've ever done in my entire life.

2. Pray that I would be able to find a subleaser for my house in Eau Claire.

3. Pray that the rest of my financial support would come in. Thanks so much to everyone that has supported me in this way.

4. Pray for my emotional state. That I would be able to properly process everything that is happening and yet be excited for what is to come. I go through these roller-coaster emotions right now, which is getting really tiring. One minute I'm mourning the things that I am leaving behind, and the next minute I'm so excited for my DTS that I want to scream.

5. Pray that I would manage my time well so that I can get everything done that is needed.
